My story

Ruth has the biggest heart, and she`s more than ready to share it with a forever human of her own. We can`t speak to what events lead up to Ruth ending up in our care here at MCASAC, but we do know that whatever it was must have been so heartbreaking for this sensitive soul. She arrived as a stray with multiple wounds on her body. She must have once been a loyal, loving companion to someone, but nobody ever came for her, and all evidence we had pointed to her being abandoned...She had emotional scars to match her physical ones. Ruth is a soft, sweet girl who was overwhelmed by the sudden change in her circumstance. She shook and cowered and didn`t want to take any treats, or even look at staff members. But that`s the thing about dogs like Ruth. For every bit as sensitive as they are, they twice as resilient, and the love and kindness that bubbles inside them just can`t be kept down for long. It only took a few days before our sweet Ruth showed us her true spirit. Today, Ruth is bright, social, friendly, and so so gentle. She looks to all the people she meets with love and hope. She loves getting belly rubs, walks in the warm grass, and meeting new people. Now, all she needs is YOU.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt *RUTH, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
